The whole world was focused on the 2016 Rio Olympics, but elsewhere in the world records were being set by non-Olympic athletes, too. Did you know that August 10th was National S’mores Day? Or that the celebration went beyond just you enjoying S’mores without any of the guilt normally associated with these tasty treats?

In fact, a Guinness World Record attempt was made by the Girl Scouts Heart of Central California. The world record they wanted to smash: The largest number of people in one place making S’mores at the same time.

The entrance to Sacramento Zoo is one of the most iconic sights in the state, and has been in place since 1961. These distinctively-shaped awnings at the entrance to the zoo are called hyperbolic paraboloids, and give the zoo’s entrance its unique look and feel. The smaller buildings are the entry and exit points of the zoo, while the larger structure was the site of the Discovery Room, which has since been converted into an air conditioned space for younger children to cool down in when visiting the zoo during the warm summer months.

Unfortunately due to issues with dry rot, and the potential for structural problems based on that, the entrance to the Sacramento Zoo now requires a complete overhaul. While every effort is being made to preserve the original look and feel of the entrance, it may be necessary for the buildings to be torn down and replaced for health and safety reasons.

It probably won’t surprise you to hear that there’s a whole lot of exciting events coming your way in Sacramento this summer. If it does surprise you to hear that, well then buckle yourself in and allow us to whet your appetites with entertainment for you, your family and friends to enjoy this summer.

French Film Festival

International movie buffs should prepare themselves for two weekends of cultural fun at the Crest Theatre on June 17-19 and June 24-26. Don’t panic if you’re not a fluent francophone – every single one of these movies has English subtitles, allowing you to enjoy the movie and not focus on trying to translate the dialogue.

The Sacramento French Film Festival is now entering its 15th year and will showcase a wide range of new French movies while reintroducing some of the French classics you may have heard about. This year’s festival is slightly different in that the headline movie – Fatima by Philippe Faucon – is showing before the opening reception.

The long, warm days of summer are finally here, and between the temperatures rising into the 90s, and the chance to take some time off work, things are looking pretty good for the people of Sacramento.

It’s time to take the tarp off the BBQ, inflate the tires of your favorite bicycle, grab your swimming trunks, and get ready to have fun. But why struggle on deciding where to go on vacation when you have everything you could possibly need right here at home?

We decided to save you the headache of doing the research yourself, coming up with nine of the best things you can do in Sacramento this summer:

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics has released some positive new numbers for the Sacramento area. Unemployment is down, economic growth is up, and the future is looking bright for the city of Sacramento.

What does this news mean for the city of Sacramento? Let’s take a closer look at the meanings behind these numbers.

Unemployment is Down Across the Region

In December 2014, unemployment in the Sacramento area (including El Dorado County, Placer County, Sacramento County, and Yolo County) was reported to be 6.3% on average. By December 2015, that number had dropped all the way to 5.5%.

That’s a 0.8% drop over one year. Unemployment rates for all across America were also down, although it only dropped from 5.4% to 4.8% – a change of 0.6%.

Living the west coast lifestyle is what dreams are made of for most people, especially anyone living in a state where they spend most of their year either freezing, or soaking wet, or a combination of both.

Fortunately, for some, Sacramento remains off the beaten path in terms of a surge of families relocating, simply because most people relocating to California are heading straight for the coast.

The Sacramento Kings are getting a brand new arena. Locals are excited. The team is excited. Why is everyone so excited about the new arena? Here are 5 fast facts you need to know about Sacramento’s new $500 million arena.

We always find it funny that people can live in a place their entire lives and still not experience everything their city has to offer. People fly overseas looking for adventure and entertainment, often forgetting how much fun is just a short drive from their own home.

Living on the West Coast of the United States is a dream shared by many people, but not everyone can afford the cost of living there.
